Existing plants across the UK are full of aging equipment. However, there is no need to replace working plant and equipment just to add monitoring capabilities.
Taking on the bold approach of monitoring the entire system provides a clearer picture for engineers that fills in coverage gaps and reveals hidden problems.
If you rely on steam, then you probably have many steam traps in your infrastructure. They are vital for efficient and safe operation but susceptible to problems.
Engineering magazines show immaculate plant rooms full of brand-new equipment, yet many manufacturers are full of existing equipment still within its service lifetime.
Motors and drives of varying types, speed and torque play a vital role on assembly lines. Many of these systems are still within their service lifetime but need updated monitoring capabilities.
Wait times for installation, infrequent data reporting and limitations on monitoring are obstacles. They seem unrelated yet getting to the root they all stem from a sensor’s energy source.
